The Apaches to he Removed,

Government, with that humane regard
for the wild untutored savage that has
always characterized American dealings

their feelings. The Apaches. it is we'll

Apache has been heard to express de

new yard-long hustle, which is now the
fashion, once greets the savage feminine
eye. there will be a yell OF delight and a
vociferous demand for an adornment so
well fitted for the graceful hacks of these
daughters of the rocks and the plains:
there will be hustle of excitement.
The result will be such an increase in
the expense of keeping these female
savages that the surplus will grow
appreciably smaller before the Con-
gressional schemers get a fair chance at

The Grahamville correspondent of the
Ocala Free Press tells the following
story, which we believe:
Mr.. G.. w. Young and E. G.. Lewis
went fishing early Thursday morning,
and fished until noon, catching five
large trout. They strung the trout on a
strong rope and hung them over the edge
of the boat TO keep alive while they ate
their dinner. They had Just commenced
preparations for dinner. and upon look
ing towards the boat, a terrible rumbling
was heard and the boat was also seen to
be rocking from side to side. Mr..
Young jumped in the boat, but no sooner
did he get in than off and over il went:
whereupon Lewis plunged headlong into
the whirling waves to save his drowning
comrade from a watery grave. Other
parties came to the rescue about this
time and peace was again restored. A
large cat fish had swallowed one of the
trout and got the fins fastened in its
mouth SO that it could not get away, but
was safely landed ON shore with every
thing else This may seem like a fish
story To some; but nevertheless it is
true.

The Constitutional Convention was in
dignant at the treatment it received
from the Times Union, but the commit
tee of the Legislature for which Mr..
Jones prayed in season and out has ex-
pressed its honest feelings in words
which would injure a better man. 1t
decides after full investigation:
That Messrs. Dorr K Bowen, the
printers for the Convention, who have
been So severely censured and charged
with the Intentional suppression and
concealment of the so-called missing
section are certainly not responsible for
ITS omission in the engrossed copy or for
any neglect of the Engrossing Commit
tee, and are certainly blameless, and
that said charges SO made to the Times
Cnton, have not been sustained, al
though MIR. {. H. Jones. the editor and
proprietor, was invited by your commit
tee to appear before them in regard to-
the matter of the missing section: he
has failed and excused himself from SO
doing; that the Times Union. which
published said grave charges against
Messrs. Dorr 4 Bowen, do so wilfully.

Another Secession.

There is no desire to furnish ammuni-
